Joshua Borin (University of California San Diego) and colleagues published a new paper in PNAS showing that coevolutionary phage training leads to greater bacterial suppression and delays the evolution of phage resistance. For example, they

Danielle Campbell (University of Illinois) and colleagues published a new paper in Cell Reports showing that infection with Bacteroides phage BV01 alters the host transcriptome and bile acid metabolism. News article | Paper

The Buchan lab (University of Tennessee) is seeking a post-doc to study phages that infect a member of the Roseobacter lineage of marine bacteria. The candidate will work on a project to investigate host-phage interactions and influence on

Keiko Salazar (Baylor College of Medicine) and colleagues published a new paper in MBio showing antiviral resistance and phage counter adaptation to antibiotic-resistant Extraintestinal Pathogenic E. coli.

Pappu Mandal (University of Technology Sydney) and colleagues published a new paper in Microbiology showing that phage infection of E. coli leads to the formation of membrane vesicles via both explosive cell lysis and membrane blebbing.

Dimitrios Skliros (Agricultural University of Athens, Greece) and colleagues published a new paper in Viruses describing how the development of phage resistance in Vibrio alginolyticus depends on a complex metabolic adaptation strategy.

Milan Gerovac (University of Würzburg, Germany) and colleagues published a new paper in MBio — they used Grad-seq (gradient profiling by sequencing) to get a comprehensive view of RNA and protein complexes in Pseudomonas aeruginosa under st

Enea Maffei (University of Basel) and colleagues published a preprint on their systematic exploration of a new panel of 66 Escherichia coli phages, which is now available for the community. They designed the collection to be used as a refer

Quentin Lamy-Besnier (Institut Pasteur) and colleagues have created a Viral Host Range database, a tool that they built to gather, analyze and search experimental host-range information. They hope this will help leverage the experimental ho

Holger Buchholz (University of Exeter, UK) and colleagues published a new paper in The ISME Journal showing a high-throughput method for isolating virus-host model systems for fastidious heterotrophic bacteria. Using this method, 117 new ph

Anushila Chatterjee (University of Colorado School of Medicine) and colleagues published a new paper in PLOS Genetics showing phage infection and sub-lethal antibiotic exposure mediate Enterococcus faecalis type VII secretion system depende

Fernando Gordillo Altamirano (Monash University, Australia) and colleagues published a new paper in Nature Microbiology showing that phage-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii are resensitized to antimicrobials. They found that phage-resistant

Duhita Sant (Monash University, Australia) and colleagues published a new paper in Nature Ecology & Evolution showing that host diversity slows phage adaptation by selecting generalists over specialists. These findings support the evolution

Kristen LeGault (University of California, Berkeley) and colleagues published a new preprint showing how temporal shifts in antibiotic resistance elements govern virus-pathogen conflicts in Vibrio cholerae recovered from clinical samples. T

Fernando Gordillo Altamirano and Jeremy Barr (Monash University) published a new perspective in Current Opinion in Biotechnology entitled "Unlocking the next generation of phage therapy: the key is in the receptors". They argue that identif

Vivek Mutalik (Lawrence Berkeley National Lab) and colleagues published their method of high-throughput mapping of the phage resistance landscape in E. coli in PLoS Biology. Sound familiar? We highlighted this paper's corresponding preprint

Laith Harb (Texas A&M University) and colleagues published a new paper in PNAS showing that host cell penetration by the F-pilus-specific ssRNA phage MS2 triggers detachment of the F-pilus.

The Paterson lab at the University of Edinburgh (Edinburgh, Scotland) is hiring a research associate to lead laboratory work investigating Staphylococcus pseudintermedius bacterial-phage interactions and bacterial disease pathogenesis.

Kaat Schroven (KU Leuven, Belgium) and colleagues published a new review in FEMS Microbiology Reviews on phages as drivers of bacterial virulence and their potential for biotechnological exploitation.

Patrick de Jonge (Utrecht University, Netherlands) and colleagues published a new paper in iScience on AdsorpSeq, a new method for rapidly linking phages with hosts, which is based on sequencing phages physicially bound to host cell envelop
